I have seen this one on the net before. I think it's been going for a couple of years!

And that name at the bottom seems familiar to me in scam way but I just can't place it yet.

If anyone finds any other blatant scams/rips offs. Please post. But make sure they are scams.

This one does not have a start or finish date.
 
I see you've been searching for comps to play next week mate, me too :)

I stumbled on that one, or one similar, looks dodgy as hell, thanks for highlighting the dangers to members.
 
lol just having a perusal to see what is about.

Answer: Not a lot.

Did find one that looked interesting called Trade 2 lose. (No I kid you not)

The idea is to try to lose as much as you can. Not for me though. I've already spent my formative years doing that by the bucket load!

I wonder if we could get Goose to run a comp. at the place he works. It would generate a lot of new business for the new website (shortsandlongs.com)

A real money comp. would be great- i think someone mentioned it somewhere a few days ago- £100 real money over a month.

We had something similar here for a long while, our infamous stock trading comp.

Sponsored by finspreads, it used to run for a month and the winner had £500 credited to their fins account. Most folks loaded up on penny stocks and hoped for the best, if they actually traded that day bam! top of the leader board, get the direction wrong and straight to hell and the pit of shame beckoned. A fun comp which sadly died in the site revamp.

I can't believe etx set all that up to run for just 5 days, my guess would be that was a toe in the water job, see how things went as a promo tool. I'm hoping more to come from them as it was slick and professional.

You never know it may catch on amongst the other SB outfits, they do tend to copy and try out do each other on some things :)
 
Couple of years ago investors chronicle did a trading competition with Capital Spreads. It ran for 4 weeks, you start with £10k on Monday and the winner at the end of every week won £1000. I was at the top of the leaderboard one week for a couple of days until I blew up. There was no account reset facility - so you had to trade sensibly as you had to last until Friday.

Perhaps we should press Simon to do something similar in the new year.

I don't think I could stand another compo this week - I'd never get any work done in the office!
